Jess Deyong
FOUNDER & PRESIDENT
Jess Deyong is the co-founder and Creative Director of dollHOUSE design + build, an award-winning residential design/build firm specializing in thoughtful renovations for Century Homes throughout Hamilton and the surrounding area.
Since founding dollHOUSE in 2020, Jess has helped guide more than 130 renovation projects, combining architectural sensitivity with a deep understanding of how families actually live in their homes. Her design philosophy is rooted in the belief that successful renovations should feel as though they have always belonged—balancing historical character with modern function while creating spaces that are intuitive, beautiful, and built to last.
Working collaboratively with homeowners from the earliest planning stages through construction, Jess is known for asking different questions. Rather than simply designing the renovation clients think they want, she focuses on uncovering the challenges they're really trying to solve, creating homes that improve everyday life as much as they enhance aesthetics.
Under Jess's creative leadership, dollHOUSE has become known for its integrated design + build approach, meticulous attention to detail, and commitment to preserving Hamilton's architectural heritage. The company has earned multiple Readers' Choice Awards while building a reputation for craftsmanship, transparency, and genuinely collaborative client relationships.
Beyond design, Jess is a passionate advocate for women in construction and entrepreneurship. She believes exceptional work begins with exceptional people, and has built a company culture grounded in integrity, accountability, respect, and doing the right thing—even when it's the more difficult path.
